Thanksgiving is supposed to be a time when you forget all your problems and eat everything in sight just be thankful for what you have!

But somehow Halle Berry's baby-daddy misinterpreted the meaning of the holiday.

(Okay, so we know it wasn't the Canadian Thanksgiving… but still! C'mon Gab!)

Yes, Gabriel Aubry was arrested Thursday morning after a custodial drop-off turned into a battle of the Halle lovers.

He and Olivier Martinez, her fiance, started duking it out after Olivier told Gab "it's time to move on." That's when Gab shoved Olivier and threw the first punch. Sigh…

Luckily for Oliv, he was able to block it and punched back in defense. But then Gab PUSHED HIM TO THE GROUND!!!!

Olivier, determined to fight back, managed to pin Gabriel down after some struggle.

After the cops were called, Olivier made a citizen's arrest, and both of them ended up in the same ER hall at the hospital.

Ugh… That is not the kind of family bonding the Big Turkey had in mind…

So then Gabriel, with his broken rib and face contusions, was booked for misdemeanor battery and slapped with an emergency protective order requiring him to stay 100 yards away from Halle, Olivier, and Nahla.

He's since been released from jail, but we doubt he's gonna be released from eyebrow-arched eyes of the judge now. And all of this happened right after he won that custody battle too! Talk about taking things for granted…

Oh and if you're wondering what Halle was doing throughout all of this, she immediately took Nahla inside to escape the terrifying situation. Thank GOODNESS!

Olivier sustained neck injuries and may have broken his hand, but we hope they were all able to salvage part of their Thanksgiving after he was released from the hospital. See the pics of his return below!

Why would anyone fight over her? I'm sorry but I've seen her interviewed and she is a raging BITCH! She thinks she is all that! I also had a friend who ran into her years back in the City and she said that Halle was so stuck up and nasty! She is not a great actress either.. Honestly I know she's bi-racial but people always call her Black.. if we want to go there I can name over a hand full of mixed or black women that aren't even famous that are more beautiful than she is! What are these gorgeous men doing fighting over her???

I like her as an actress, but she can't seem to get relationships right. I can't help but think her fiance planned it know it would set her ex off. She won and now her little girl doesn't have a father around. I lay you odds she won't be in this relationship much longer. I wish her daughter peace and and a normal environment.

I think this is a set up too. After the crap she has pulled through this I am not going to see anymore of her movies. She is a bitch in all the interviews I have seen and been through how many men? There you go.

There seems to be no "bigger" person in this story. If the little girl was the most important thing with the three interacting this would never have happened. Unfortunately there is a rehab being built for Nahla as we speak.

Seems awfully suspicious. She constantly changes her story to suit her needs to separate her daughter from the father. She lost her last court case when trying to leave the country with her child and now miraculously after her current fiance (who is a boxing expert) is "assulted" by her baby daddy?? It just doesn't add up.

I bet come Monday she'll be back in court requesting sole custody. Olivier will be next once they inevitably break up. Hopefully he's smart enough not to have a baby with her.

I'm sorry but this screams set-up! She just lost the case she had been fighting so hard to win. EVERy relationship she has had ends up with her claiming violence or abuse… the problem in all of these scenarios is her! I feel bad for that kid. I hope Gabriel can prove that they set him up & maybe the court will give that poor little girl to her dad to keep the drama to a minimum. It's also weird how the media got a hold of the story so quickly with pictures of Halle's boyfriend's hurt hand… she want to move to France to avoid the paparazzi but uses them to make the dad look bad! Shame on her… karma is going to catch up with her someday. AND… it said citizen's arrest - which means that the police weren't going to do anything until Olivier said that he wanted to press charges… lame!

This screams "set up" and this is very low. She just had to get her way. I'd like to say the courts will see how shady this altercation was but that's a very slim chance. This all could have been avoided if she went to a sperm donor and had her own baby. She even said in an oprah interview (when she was promoting Catwoman) that she wanted to have a baby and would have a guy sign a contract to just be the donor. Its unfortunate because it seemed Aubrey & Nahla had such a great father/daughter bond. I'd think that's what Halle would want for her daughter since she never had a relationship w/her own father. they broke up, and she thought she can just take their child and go their separate ways, without the father having a problem with that. I love how this took place in thanksgiving just to add more drama. well halle, you deserve an oscar for being vicious bile. lets see what your daughter will say about this when she grows up.

The little girl is the real victim in this. She most certainly saw and heard part of what happened. She's aware her mommy and daddy don't love each other. In order to avoid conflict, surely someone else in the household could have received Nahla when her father dropped her off. The child must be sad and frightened. My thoughts and prayers to all children who are exposed to physical and verbal violence.

I'm not one to jump on conspiracy theories but this does seem like awfully nice timing after she was denied the right to move her daughter to France. What better way to change the courts mind than set up the dad to look like he has anger issues when he was probably just pushed over the edge. Violence is never the answer but these people are trying to move Gabriel's daughter to another country, that's enough to make anyone snap. Hopefully it turns into a "he said/he said" case and the courts don't keep Nahla away from her dad for long. The poor poor child.

halle is one crazy lady this was pro all set up by her so her ax would get arrested so she can go get full custody amd move over sea's. i think it s best for this little girl to be taken away from both of them. they need to grow up and learn to be parents!

2 ex-husbands and a slew of other men. She is toxic. I used to like her but no more. I think she is a devious bitch who I will NEVER watch another one of her movies again in my life. I don't care if it is the most oscar worthy performance in the history of Hollywood. I will never watch her filty meaness again.

Re: fid – I completely Agree!!!! " it's time to move on" after they've tried like hell to take his daughter away. Her ex has constant fear of his stripped away from him… I can see why he lost his temper. You can tell that little girl loves him, she will end up hating Halle

I smell a set up a mile away here. Well looks like Halle will get what she wanted and all it took was getting her boyfriend to pop off. We are to believe that Gabe was unprovoked? I think this poor guy walked into a set up, surely "their" witnesses and THEIR word will cost him his daughter. Halle is a sick bitch!

How do we know for sure it's Gabriel's fault? After all the witnesses were Halle & Olivier who had vested interest to blame Gabriel not themselves. AND Olivier had no business to be telling Gabriel anything about his daughter in the first place. The real truth will come out.

This definitely seems like a set-up. Oliver made a "citizen's arrest" and claims her ex threw the first punch? Sounds fishy. Halle wants to take her daughter way to a different country, and this is her way of going about it because she thinks she is above the law.

i bet olivier provoked him; i mean this other guys is raising your daughter and tells you to let it go…idve attacked him too…and halle would have loved it, more ammo to take nahla away; im on team Gabriel.

I agree, this smells like a setup.
Read elsewhere that their argument was in French, and so no one seems to know what was said. If Olivier loves her so much, let him move to the USA, he spends a lot of time here anyway.

gab has broken ribs and oliver has a broken hand an dyet gab was arrested for swinging at him and all he did was hold him down until the cops came? yeah right. the surveilance video isn't being handed over to the cops either….

I totally feel like this was set up. Halle seems to want to take Nahla away from her father. She may not love him anymore, but that gives her no right to take his daughter away from him and start over with another guy. She chose to have a child with him and now she can not go back on that.

I don't trust this woman or her shifty disgusting boyfriend.
Why was he even there during a custody swap? boyfriends have no reason to be near this guys child during his drop off and pick ups. If Halle doesn't want to be alone with her ex then she gets someone else to do the drop offs.

Also i would bet 100 dollars that she has been feeding her French asshole boyfriend crap, like " he wants me back" " he Still loves me" blah blah when it probably wasn't true.

She is such a selfish and self serving human being. Wanting to start her "new" life with her "new" man and get rid of the man she used to make a baby. Which is all she did with him. You always see him out and about doing something with that little girl. He is not a deadbeat dad. She disgusts me. I feel sorry for Nahla and I hope in the end Gabriel will prevail. Team Gabriel all the way. Get your sh*t together, Halle. Don't be such a low human being.

'It's time to move on?' Good grief. Martinez is a baiting, interfering jackass. You NEVER move on from your own daughter. Gabriel Aubry obviously loves his daughter. He probably thought, no, you move on buddy.

When are the majority going to wise up to this festering, attention whoring, nasty, lying, spineless poor excuse for an actress or mother???? Does anyone remember how she hit someone with her car, injured them badly and drove away??? This is the caliber of narcissism we are looking at here. I hope she gets herself into some hardcore therapy for the sake of her daughter. Halle, you are disgusting.

i think she set him up. This chick is a drama queen and she would do anything to ruin Gabriels chances of co parenting the child. She is trouble I always knew it. She just wanted someone to give her a baby and then go away. smdh

Isn't it odd that Aubry ended up in the hospital badly wounded by ex-boxer Martinez? A loser without many great parts in his career other than dating women more famous and so richer than him? He has no childeren of his own. Halle is probably not able to give hime one either since she's already 46. So why not take Nahla away from her real father and play happy family after all? I guess Aubry is used by drama-queen Halle Berry as a sperm donor!
It's inflammatory to the real father, Aubry, to say: "we must move on". Meaning: "stay away from your own child. She's mine now". No wonder Aubry couldn't take it anymore. I feel sorry for Gabriel Aubry and his daughter who seems always happy being with her father. Halle lost the custody battle so all that was left was to provoke Aubry and he was arrested. None other witness were there than these three people. Why wasn't Martinez arrested? This smells fishy, a set up for Aubry. I am done with Halle Barry and that creepy Olivier Martinez.

Nice set up and Gabe walked right into it. They didnt fight over that bitch they fought because this guy was telling Gabe what he was going to do like take that kid away from her daddy, It was a set up and I hipe the judge sees thru this. Sjhe set this whole thing up to have him arrested and then try for custody again. I will never see another mvie of hers again. I cannot stand people that try to keep children from another parent and set them up like this.

Re: jk – Exactly! I want to see the security tape…appears to be a major setup.
And Olivier is just another outsider out to destroy family relationships. I'm sick of losers like that! How come somebody's bed partner of the week have so much say in how somebody else's child is raised? How would Halle like to know she's just the egg donor, with all her taunts about Aubrey just being a sperm donor? Disgusting, BAD mother.

This makes no sense to me! This is not the original story that came out. I don't understand why Gabriel Aubrey was arrested. Look at his injuries! The original story is that he was jumped and beaten by Olivier Martinez because he was mad that he won't let Nahla move to France. This I believe. Martinez has always seemed like such a creepy guy to me. Halle deserves him. But Nahla doesn't.
